Which TCP and UDP ports can be used to start a NULL session attack in NT and 2000 operating systems?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

A null session is an anonymous connection to a freely accessible network share called IPC$ on Windows-based servers. It allows immediate

read and write access with Windows NT/2000 and read-access with Windows XP and 2003.

The command to be inserted at the DOS-prompt is as follows:

net use \IP address_or_host nameipc$ '' '/user:'

net use

Port numbers 139 TCP and 445 UDP can be used to start a NULL session attack.

I thought NULL sessions were outdated, do they still work?

I thought NULL sessions used different ports, but now I'm second-guessing myself. Is it really C, or could it be something else?

I practiced a question like this, and I feel like 139 and 445 were mentioned as common ports for vulnerabilities.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about those ports being used for SMB. Could it be option C?

I think the ports for a NULL session attack are related to file sharing, so maybe it's 139 and 445?

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know there are a few different command line tools related to table management, but I'm not positive which ones are used for determining data order. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Hmm, not sure about this one. I'll need to think carefully about the legal and ethical considerations around commitments to customers. Gotta make sure I don't miss anything important.
